At your clinic visit before your surgery, you will have a physical exam. You will also be asked for your medical and surgical history. Please be prepared to list all of your medications including herbals, vitamin supplements, aspirin, or other blood thinning medications. You may need to stop taking these medications several days before your surgery. Your Operation Details Please look at the chart on page 4 for when to call us before your operation. A nurse will call you back with instructions. If you are not able to answer the return call and have an answering machine, the nurse will leave a message. The anesthesia care provider may call you the night before your operation. If not, they will talk to you the day of your surgery. Your Arrival You have been asked to arrive two hours before surgery to allow time for the physicians and nurses to prepare you for surgery. Once you are in the preoperative area, you will change into a hospital gown, socks, and cap. A nurse will give you a bag for your clothing. The nurse will then ask you some questions and take any paperwork you brought. At this time, let the nurse know of any special needs you have. The nurse will check your vital signs and start an intravenous (IV) line for fluids and medications. The anesthesia care provider will review your anesthetic plan at this time also. Your operating room nurse or anesthesia care provider will take you from the preoperative area to the operating room. Here you will move onto the operating bed. surgery prep 072312.indd 5 7/23/2012 11:54:02 AM 6 Family & Friends One family member or friend can come with you to the preoperative area. This person may be asked to leave when preoperative procedures begin. Any other family members or friends should check in with the Surgical Family Waiting Room clerk. This is where the surgeon will speak with them after your operation. Inpatients - After your operation, the Surgical Family Waiting Room clerk will tell your family where you have been admitted. It is likely that one family member or friend will be able to visit you in the Post Anesthesia Care Unit (PACU). Outpatients - You will be able to see your family member or friend when you return to the outpatient area. You must have a responsible adult family member or friend to drive you home. If you are an outpatient, we request that this person remain at the hospital during your entire visit. This person needs to be available as soon as you are ready to be discharged. You cannot drive yourself home after your operation. A bus or cab is not acceptable, unless someone you know is with you. We recommended that a responsible adult remain with you for 24 hours after surgery. Friends and family are welcome to access our free wireless internet during their time here. Please advise your family not to come to the hospital if they are sick. Cell phones are allowed except in the preoperative and postoperative care unit. All cell phones must remain a minimum of 12 inches away from any medical device. surgery prep 072312.indd 6 7/23/2012 11:54:02 AM 7 After Your Operation After Operation Inpatients - Once you have recovered from your anesthesia, you will be taken to your hospital room. Your family may visit you here. Your family should check with the nurse for visiting hours. Outpatients - The amount of time you need to stay after your operation depends on the type of operation, anesthetic, and your medical history. Infection Control Hand washing is the number one way to prevent infections and the spread of germs. All healthcare providers are required to cleanse their hands both before and after entering a patient room. If you ever see a healthcare provider not cleansing their hands before entering your room, we encourage you to speak up and ask them to clean their hands. Also, please make sure you and your visitors practice hand cleansing whenever entering and exiting your hospital room. Nausea and Pain Management One of our primary goals is to help you manage your pain. When you wake up after surgery, you may be receiving IV pain medication. At some point you may also be given pills. You will be asked to describe your nausea and pain using a number scale. Please inform your health care provider if you feel uncomfortable. It is normal to have some pain and nausea after your operation. Your pain level will decrease during the healing process. 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 No pain Moderate pain Worst possible pain surgery prep 072312.indd 7 7/23/2012 11:54:02 AM 8 Discharge Instructions If you are an inpatient, ask your doctor about your anticipated discharge day.
